I made the mistake of letting Mrs Nutty have a go on the ebike last night. She came back grinning from ear to ear, and now wants one of her own.
Great, dump it with the missus and get yourself a Levo....result.
You all told me.....

I’ve told her she has to do 100 miles on the non electric mountain bike before I’ll consider buying her an ebike.
I even promised not to take the piss when she pushes it up hills.

What's the Levo JB ? Specialized ??
You’re just jealous that mine has the latest tech.
Not when you’re pedaling under your own steam
It’s all about the torque 90NM on the Levo
What’s your latest tech one? 70/80
Also what the weight of yours - Levo Carbon comp 20.5kg
Although there’s a little drag as it goes through and let’s go of assistance that’s only on the transition once you’re through it's no different
...oh and red ones are the fastest

Makes no odds to me. You may be quicker up hills, but you oldies will run out of steam way before I will.
And the components on your Levo are much cheaper than the Cube. And the lack of carbon frame. I’ll stop now!

You know what you did there......Didn`t you?
I do.
Between them, they weigh about 30kg more than me, so having a bike that weighs 2kg less, or has 2 Nm of torque more really won’t make a jot of difference.

I spent a lot of time looking at the individual components on the Specialized, and the Cube. I’ve owned several Specialized bikes over the years, so they were my natural default, but looking at the difference, it wasn’t a difficult choice tbh.
The specialized is a great bike, but to get a like for like spec, you’d need to spend another £1k to get a similar spec one to the Cube.
At the end of the day, unless you’re a real bike geek, most of us wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between any of them, in the real world.

I've never owned a spesh bike but always thought they were the nicest out there, best looking IMO but also the dearest.
I'm not a fan of the vertical rear shock just purely on visuals but that didn't stop me buying a Giant Trance 29er fs.
Agree on the spec side of things, you can go nuts buying top of the range stuff with all the top kit but at my age and for my needs, middle for diddle will do me.
Ideally I'd want to buy local just purely due to so many moving parts on these bikes as my last 4 bikes have all been online buys, which is fine for normal mtb's but with motors/batteries/software etc etc, local has to be the way me things.

I very nearly went for the Specialized without looking at the alternatives, but for the money, the Cube has it nailed. Having never ridden an ebike before, and with nobody offering demos at the moment, I had to take a bit of a punt, but am glad I did now.
Agreed on the buying local, but at the moment, that could be tricky for you? The nearest Specialized dealer to me is about 20 miles away, which is a bit too far, if I have any issues. Especially as it would be quite an effort to lift this thing in and out of the car, battery or not. It probably wouldn’t even fit in the car anyway, unless I remove both wheels.
Saying that though, the guys I got mine from are the biggest ebike dealer in the UK, or so they claim, so will get the bike set up for you and ship it. All you’ll need to do is put the front wheel/seat/pedals/handlebars on, and away you go. If you’ve got someone local to you that can service it without getting stroppy that they didn’t supply the bike, then online will get the best deals.
If you do go down the Cube route, and buy online, there’s another online dealer offering bikes with around 10% off, so you can still save a decent amount, if you can wait a couple of weeks for delivery.
